“Ann was fantastic! Communicative throughout her stay, and our babies loved her. We will definitely want to use her again, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone. Thanks Ann!”
“We love Nick! My boys always have a great time with him and I always have a worry-free time away from home. I couldn’t be more impressed how well he handles my dogs and how good is his communication”
“The day before leaving town, our senior dog turned up with a mystery paw injury-which meant he had trouble getting outside, eating, everything. Elena didn’t hesitate to take on the extra work and to give him (plus our other dog and cats) the TLC he needed to heal up. Everyone seemed happy and well cared for when we returned!”
“We were really happy with the care that Katie provided for our Golden Bailey. She made sure Bailey was happy and surprised her with her favorite toy, tennis balls. Would definitely recommend her.”
About: I’ve cared for both cats and dogs for years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, litter box care, and following each pet’s routine. I’ll treat your pets with patience, kindness, and the same care I’d give my own. I’m currently available with a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care for your pets throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and reliable care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has a unique personality. I’ll provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Kimberly took amazing care of our 2 dogs while we were away for 3 days. She sent pictures and updates daily. The dogs loved being with her and our house was very clean when we got home. I would highly recommend her.”
“Josh and Susan watched Lily in our home while we were on vacation for a week. They did an amazing job. Communication was great. With lots of fireworks for the holiday week they went well above to make sure Lily was taken care of. They pay attention to details and truly care for your pets.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Julie took such wonderful care of our puppy, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was obvious he was getting plenty of love, attention, and care.”
About: A walk without a dog is a missed opportunity. I have been a pet owner for 30 years. Chester, Goldie and Anya graced our home with love, lots of fur and many cuddles. I care for all pets as I have my own with a nurturing, adventurous attitude. I look forward to meeting your family! I go for long walks daily and would love to include your pet on the journey. I am available to care for your pet before and after work. I am off most weekends and some weekdays as well. I have a loving kitty who grew up with dogs and cats. I am happy to care for your pet in home. I have an available kennel for pups who find comfort there at night and am also happy to cuddle and play with them where they thrive. Miles of greenway are just steps away from my home.
“This was the first time that I had Isaac watch my dogs. I had him house/dog sit for me. I originally chose him because of his professionalism in our texting discussions and his promptness with returning messages. We had an initial meet and greet, which he was on time for, and the dogs seemed to like him right away. While I was gone, Isaac sent pictures and updates of how things were going. When I got home, I was amazed at how clean my house was. Typically when I get home from a trip there is dog fur everywhere because my dogs shed very badly. I usually tell my dog sitters where the vacuum is in case the hair starts to bother them, but I do not expect them to vacuum the house for me. However, I never mentioned any of this to Isaac, he just took it upon himself to vacuum the house. The blankets were folded nicely on the dog beds, and on the couch. He even got my mail out of the mailbox and left it sitting for me in the house. These were all extra things that I never asked of him, he just took the initiative to do these things on his own. It was nice coming home to a house I didn’t have to immediately vacuum! I can’t say enough good things about Isaac, I will definitely check with him first when I have to leave town again!”
About: With over 12 years of experience, I've cared for multiple dogs, trained two, and consistently follow routines. I enjoy walking dogs and ensuring they’re happy, healthy, and well-fed. I’ve also cared for my uncle’s dogs and picked up many effective training techniques along the way. I'm reliable, patient, and passionate about giving every dog the attention and structure they need. I currently don’t have another job, so my schedule is completely open and flexible. I’m available any day, any time, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s a last-minute request or a regular routine, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your dog’s needs. My open availability means you can always count on me. I always follow the feeding and walking schedules provided by clients to ensure each dog’s routine stays consistent and comfortable. Most clients leave a list or specific details, and I make sure to stick to them closely. In between scheduled tasks, I spend quality time playing with the dogs, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company so they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you're away.
“Gavin took care of our three dogs while we were away for a few days. He made sure they were fed, let outside, and cared for during our trip. We appreciate the time and effort he put into looking after our pups and helping us while we were out of town.”
About: I grew up with dogs in the house, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I also have my own boxer, so I know exactly what it takes to keep a high-energy dog happy and worn out in a good way, long walks and playtime are already part of my daily routine. Over the years I've walked, fed, and watched dogs for neighbors, friends, and family, and I treat every dog like my own. I just graduated college and I'm spending the summer here before law school starts in August, so I have plenty of time and energy to give your dog real attention, not just a rushed walk around the block. I'm currently doing remote LSAT tutoring this summer, which gives me full flexibility during the day. I can build my schedule around what your dog actually needs, whether that's an early morning walk, a midday drop-in, or an evening visit. I also have my own car, so distance isn't an issue and I can get to you reliably, even on short notice. Your pet's safety comes first, every time. On walks, dogs stay leashed the entire time. When I'm in your home, I double-check that doors and gates are locked before I leave, and I never assume — if you tell me your dog needs to stay away from the back gate or can't be off-leash in the yard, I follow that exactly. I stick to feeding and care instructions as written rather than winging it, and if anything's unclear I'll ask you directly instead of guessing. You'll also get photo or video updates during visits, so you're never left wondering how things went while you were out.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Geneva is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Geneva
Julie was conscientious with her car of my dog and cats. The animals were happy and well cared for. Julie was careful to ask questions about their needs, and communicated closely with us, while we were gone, so we had no concerns about our pets. I will definitely use her again.
I can't say enough about how happy we were with Megan as our dog sitter. She stayed at our home for an entire week caring for Bandit and kept us updated with regular messages and pictures, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. The only problem is that she did such an amazing job that Bandit really misses all the extra attention she gave him! Seriously, Megan is our #1 recommendation. She is caring, reliable, trustworthy, and clearly loves animals. We wouldn't hesitate to use her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding dog sitter. You will not be disappointed.
Lexi was a mental health lifesaver for our pup. We had plans to go out of town for the 4th of July, and we were worried about leaving her. Although beautiful to watch, our town’s firework display is shot right over our house. We let Lexi know of our concerns, and she made sure to drive our pup somewhere else where she wouldn’t be afraid of all the booms and lights. Our pup sleeps with people and Lexi made sure that Oakley felt safe through the night. As for our home, Lexi made sure to clean up any messes. She’s a gem! We were so lucky to find her, especially at a time when she could have had other plans. We will definitely be calling on Lexi whenever we need a dog sitter.
I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter for my puppy Queenie! From the start it was clear her knowledge of dogs and puppies was far beyond the basics, and the little details made a big difference. She was reliable and trustworthy from the beginning. I never had to worry while being away— she communicated regularly, gave updates, and followed through on every commitment. Highly recommend without reservation! A+++
Maddie was great! She stayed at our house with our 14 year old, blind fur baby, Liz. She kept us well informed throughout the weekend. It was so nice to have a trustworthy sitter and return to a happy, relaxed dog. Liz was in excellent hands, and we could tell she felt completely comfortable and safe with Maddie. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable sitter!
Christine made us feel very at ease during our meet & greet and our boys both loved her right away. Throughout her in-home stay, she was communicative and send photos consistently (very important!) Before she left she even cleaned around our house and washed the sheets, which was above and beyond our expectations. We will definitely book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Geneva on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,923 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Geneva. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Geneva walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Geneva maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Geneva choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
